Three updates this week? What is the world coming to?!
Last night I discussed short term plans and some ideas… Have had some interest and feedback so far, and appreciate it.
With that being said, I can announce the following:
Coruscant has been built!
Yes! The center of power for the Galactic Empire is completed! Ten rooms to start.. More to add if needed/requested down the road. I do not want to have 1,000 rooms for players to run around in at the start… I’d like to have 7-10 worlds to play on, giving a little variety but each one a size, and with general areas that will help RP be centralized.
Next, on to the spice mines of Kessel! I do not think this will be a ten room zone.. Expect a prison, and some mines. The main plan for it will for it to be used for mining minerals.
Once Kessel is completed, I anticipate starting on Tatooine (I suspect this will be 15~ rooms because of the amount of potential this particular planet has).
So, we are moving along! At some point I will need to develop the list of playable races! I would like to here what YOU have to think about what races should be playable!
What races should be playable? Well Lets just forget about the human races to begin with… ..Just kidding lol.
Since the total list as I found it consists of 92 races I went out to pick a few I think we should consider to be playable:
Alderaanian
Corellian
Coruscanti
Ewok
Gungan
Human
Hutt
Kaminoan
Mon Calamari
Naboo (yes that’s how the race is called)
Togruta
Toydarian
Twi`lek
Wookiee
The real list is of course much bigger but I think we should consider these first.
I got these races from this website: http://www.swcombine.com/rules/?Races
But you can also look at this wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_species
Well, races like Corellian, Alderanian, Hapan, etc… would all fall under ‘Human’, as they are all offshoots of the Human race – easier code wise that way as well. Having a dozen plus types of Humans is confusing. The only time a Human variant would be available if there is some super-special effect that is specific to that race.
That being said, I think I will leave out most of the pre-Episode IV races out. I think 15-20 races max to start, but will have to select the most popular. If the staff is willing to add more, then great. In the end I want to reduce as much work for them as humanly possible.
Sounds like a good plan Narai. Let me know if you want an opinion on anything.
